In an SOI substrate having a semiconductor layer formed on the semiconductor substrate via an insulating layer, a MISFET is formed in each of the semiconductor layer in an nMIS formation region and a pMIS formation region. In power feeding regions, the semiconductor layer and the insulating layer are removed. In the semiconductor substrate, a p-type semiconductor region is formed so as to include the nMIS formation region and one of the power feeding regions, and an n-type semiconductor region is formed so as to include a pMIS formation region and the other one of the power feeding regions. In the semiconductor substrate, a p-type well having lower impurity concentration than the p-type semiconductor region is formed so as to contain the p-type semiconductor region, and an n-type well having lower impurity concentration than the n-type semiconductor region is formed so as to contain the n-type semiconductor region.
